Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Class Q of Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, with particular regard to paragraph Q.1(a)

What decided it

The evidence, including the Statutory Declaration, Flood/Herd Register, sheep movement records, and site visit observations, demonstrated on a balance of probabilities that the established agricultural use had continued beyond the date of the most recent evidence, meaning the site remained an agricultural building eligible for Class Q conversion.
